Let's begin cooking pasta with spinach and basil.
1. Cook pasta like a pro.
2. Drain the seasoned pasta and set aside until later.
3. Pour olive oil in a very hot pan. Make sure your heat in medium-high.

You need a generous amount of olive oil into the pan since it will be the base of the pasta sauce. Don't worry about the cholesterol as olive oil contains Omega-3 which is a healthy fats needed by the body.

4. Toss in the garlic.
5. When the garlic turns golden, put in the tomatoes and the dried paprika. Lower heat to medium-low.

6. Cover the pan and allow the tomato to release its juices.
7. Add in the spinach and basil together. Mix well.
8. Add a bit of water to prevent the pan from drying.
9. Season the sauce with pepper and fish sauce.
10. Add some basil powder, if you want a stronger basil flavor.
11. Put the pasta together with the sauce.
12. Make your last seasoning adjustments at this point.
13. Turn off the heat; and remove the pan from the stove to avoid over-cooking the pasta.
14. Serve while hot.

You can also add shrimps or chicken in this pasta dish.
